Uploading from Cura Type A

[BillDempsey]

I have a TAM S1 Pro. It is connected to my gigabit network via Cat 6. I can connect to the printer and upload files using the Octoprint browser interface. Unfortunately, Cura Type A stays at the "Uploading" message forever. I've checked the printer and the file never actually gets uploaded.

Is there something special I need to do in order to upload a file directly from Cura Type A to the printer?

Hmm.

I'm assuming you went through the whole "add printer, including API key" process...

Does uploading a gcode file directly to octoprint not work under the same circumstances that the Cura direct upload feature not work? That is, if Cura fails, can you then upload a gcode file direct to Octoprint with no failure?

Are you connected to the Series 1 directly over ethernet? If so, try putting a router between you and the machine. You can use the one that makes your Wi-Fi signal. Any router will do. If you don't have a router handy, try and see if a simple network switch will do it.

I run into upload issues from time to time. Printer on WiFi about 20' from my access point and looks like decent signal stats (-45dbM, 45% quality). If I upload a simple part, 2 round cylinders with hole in the middle, gcode size is ~5.8MB, that works fine. But if I double to 4 cylinders, Cura will display Upload failed message. I see the proper size file on the web interface and it'll often print just fine, although the web interface gets confused on the time remaining. Octoprint log below:

I'm not sure about the CuraEngine path, it was blank initially, I tried changing to /home/pi/Cura. Is that supposed to be set to something?
